i am using 3.4u wii firmware.
it's saying "retrieving device contents... error! ( ret = -1)"
its an SD card. its lower than 3 gigs. it really shouldn't be giving me an error.
or is it because of firmware?

Downgrade.

Reasons:
1)WAD Manager DOES NOT work on 3.4
2)3.4 is a shitty firmware to run homebrew


Reasons that the installation didn't work:
1)Wads must be placed in the "wad" folder in the root of your sd card.
2)It's 3.4

First of all, confirm these:

1)Your SD Card aint SDHC
2)There's a wad folder in the root of your SD Card
3)Inside the folder it has the WAD that you are trying to install

If the WAD Manager gives -1 error while installing IOS16, it's a bad SD Card.
